Entry 8: School Visit

The alarm went off at 6:45am. It was time to go to visit a school that was 2.5 hours away. The previous night I had spent talking to my drunken roommate about various things, including how someone stole his umbrella. As we went to bed that night, he said in a very serious tone "I love you, man. I'm serious. We are roommates, you can tell me anything".
When we both woke up from my alarm, he said "Dude, someone stole my umbrella last night"
"Yeah, you told me this last night" I said in a somewhat confused tone.
"What? You weren't asleep when I came in?" He said in a similarly confused tone.
"Dude, we had a 30 min conversation about a lot of different things" I said, and then continued to give him a play by play of our entire conversation, with him saying things like "OH yeah!", and "yeah dude.."

I got on the bus, sat next to Aileen, and soon passed out during the 3 hour bus ride. Once we reached the school we observed the 6th grade class, attempting english. It was really cute. They were really cute. We had the honor of eating the most AMAZING kimbab with the kids. We played games, talked to them in English about a variety of topics. Then left.

I passed out the entire way back to Suwon. They dropped us off at a movie theater where I watched 국가대표. Thankfully, I understood the majority of the movie, and it was quite entertaining.

I'm sorry that I am losing things to talk about these days, honestly, things are becoming much more routine. I'm no longer homesick, but rather, there is this emptiness inside of me, but who knows what that could be. I wish I could just sit at one of the gazillion coffee shops in seoul, and talk with you, YEAH YOU (I mean, if you read my blog, I'm sure that we have SOMETHING to talk about).

I promise to write about something more interesting in the future. Just bear with me.
